Description Wim Jongman CLA 2017-06-27 09:57:29 EDT 
Steps to reproduce:

Built Orion from source or install
Start Orion and follow the Reverse Text plugin example [1]
Selfhost the plugin site and instal the plugin.

After restarting the Orion server, the location of the selfhosted plugin is no longer there (172.0.0.2:8080) which resulted in a blank client screen. Orion will not serve any UI.

After skimming through the workspace settings I found a json referencing this site and removed that line. After restarting the server the client started normally.


Also my orionhub failed to start (so I thought) but after preparing for this bug I saw that there was a UI presented after all (after a couple of minutes).

There were 404 errors in the console. See attachments.

Silenio, I thought we worked hard to keep going when a plugin doesn't load.
